How to Make a Reindeer out of a Toilet Paper Roll

To start this craft, go to our resource library and download the printable reindeer template.

Once you’ve got it downloaded and printed out, start cutting each piece of the reindeers face. 

Then trace them onto the colored craft papers, like shown below. We used both a light and dark brown piece color of paper.

Cut out the reindeer’s ears from the light brown craft paper.

Then cut out a glowing Rudolph nose with the red glitter paper. You can also use the dark brown paper if you want a non-rudolph reindeer.

Next to cut out is the mouth. For the mouth you are going to want to use the light brown craft paper.

The final thing to cut out is the antlers. To do so you are going to use the dark brown craft paper.

Next glue the antlers on the inside of the toilet paper roll in the front at the top of the roll.

Then glue the ears behind the horns like shown below.

Now, glue the reindeer’s mouth on to the center of the toilet paper roll.

Add the red glittery nose and glue it on top of the mouth of your toilet paper reindeer.

For the final step cut out 2 circles from the white craft paper and draw a set of eyes. Or you could use a set of googley eyes.

Googley eyes make everything better.

Glue the eyes above the mouth of your new reindeer!

This little guy looks a lot like Rudolph! Of course, you can name yours whatever you like!
